Wild whispers abound the Yorkshire Moors where someone means trouble…

Penrith, Yorkshire Dales 1901

Tor Hardy has prospered in Cornwall but remains tied to the Pennines and the troubled mine at Penrith Scar. When a strike erupts, he returns to help his friend Jonathan Crossley, only to uncover a dangerous enemy determined to destroy them both.

Jonathan harbours a dark secret - a past crime for which he paid dearly. Now exposed, it threatens his livelihood, friendships and any hope of love with Rosie Russell, who must ultimately choose between her family and the man she loves.

Meanwhile, Tor faces troubles of his own. His wife Emma, expecting their third child, is threatened, while Lady Jane Ravenscroft seeks freedom from her cruel husband, who vows to take their son.

As Tor investigates the sinister Richard Harris, past and present collide. Secrets unravel, loyalties are tested, and lives hang in the balance.

In a gripping climax, justice and happiness depend on whether Tor can expose the truth before it’s too late.
